RMV - Ringkøbing Maskinværksted A/S

Due to increased demand for overall solutions, Ringkøbing Maskinværksted has appointed two new employees for the development department.

Mr Lars Ottow is Mechanical Engineer and has many years of experience with development work.

Mr Brian Astrup Jensen is newly qualified Design Engineer with a background as fitter.
 

Both the production and the administration close for two weeks – in week 30 + 31.

At RMV we wish everyone a nice summer!

Even though we have many skilful smiths at RMV, increasing demands are placed on the documentation for the jobs executed. Therefore, in May we selected five employees to pass a welding test. In one single day, all five employees successfully passed the "EN ISO 287-1".
 

Great demand for capacity in the second part of 2007 resulted in the investment in new, large production facilities, which were inaugurated in August 2008. Simultaneously, the number of employees increased from 25 to 38.

The year ended with an increase in the turnover of almost 50 %. 
 

As at 1 February 2009 we have implemented electronic time recording. To start with, the system is meant to secure better planning and an overview of the time consumption of the individual order.

In the long term, the target is to improve our delivery efficiency, reduce resource consumption and improve the control of the quality. 
 

On 29 January 2009, in the property supplement to the Danish newspaper Børsen, the sun protection system, which HS Hansen developed in cooperation with our plate department, was praised. Click here to see the article.

The job involved the manufacturing of slats in lengths of almost four meters, executed in perforated aluminium plates with small holes.

"The task of manufacturing perforated plates with small, narrowly spaced holes, without damaging the plates, was something of a job. The solution was to purchase a special tool for our rotary punching machine. The result was a product of high quality, whilst the costs were kept down”, Mr Carsten Lauridsen, Managing Director with Ringkøbing Maskinværksted A/S explains. He adds that he is very pleased with the result. 

Due to great demand for laser cut products, in the autumn 2008 RMV invested in a 3 KW laser cutter. It handles steel plates of up to 4000 x 2000 x 20 mm. For futher specifications, please click here. 

The success has been great, and the interest in cut products of a high quality has been increasing ever since. RMV is one of only a few companies in Western Jutland that carries out cutting as sub-contracting work (both small and large batches).

Internally, the investment has been a success, since the machine has contributed to making various processes more efficient. For example, now we can cut a thread in a hole without having to drill first.
